    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. You do not know how I am celebrating this opportunity. My county is a victim of failure to issue IDs. My people are similar to those in Tanzania and Uganda. More often than not, they are treated as Tanzanians and Ugandans. When you go to Kuria East and West, we have four communities the Burenges, Bakiras, Nyandasis and the Lenchokas. They are treated as Tanzanians because they have similar clans in Tanzania. You remember that several years ago when Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was running for presidency, some people declared him a Tanzanian because he belonged to a clan called Abasakwa. I also belong to that clan. Even my clansmen are being suspected to be Tanzanians. Yet, traced to several generations ago, I and others are Kenyans born in Kenya. Maybe some people, several centuries ago, were in another country but we have all been here. This issue of issuance of IDs is a challenge everywhere. With my prominence and visibility in Kenya my daughters could not get it in time. I had to intervene. You can imagine the daughters of Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo- Ayacko could not get IDs. The daughters of somebody else who is not me would be in serious trouble. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a legitimate Statement from a patriotic Kenyan who understands the problem that our people face. The youth in Migori county are 1.3million. Those registered as voters are 388000. If you go by demographic tendencies half of them should be having IDs and eligible for registration. When you do not see half of them being registered as voters and half of them"
